Sažetak
The Hospitale misericordiae, established by the Dubrovnik Republic in 1432 and abolished in 1927, served as a foundling home, orphanage, lying in hospital and nursing agency. The care provided for foundlings was both institutional and non-institutional. This combined approach aimed at facilitating the integration of the child while maintaining surveillance in order to increase the chances of survival of the ward. The intersection of these two types of care raised issues of multiple or repetitive segregation and integration that influenced the identity formation of the ward. The act of abandonment, that segregated the child from its biological family, initiated a series of procedures performed by the staff and business partners of the hospital that would lead to the creation of the new identity for the child. These procedures, connected with the religious ritual, such as baptism, or commercial practices, such as wet-nursing or apprenticeship, are examined to determine in what way they contribute to the identity creation and social integration of the ward. The issues of spatial segregation and freedom of movement of the hospital staff and the wards are also looked into.
